Shahid Bolsen On Who Shook The Jar In South Africa
It is easy to get riled up by the simple and pervasive narratives surrounding ongoing anti-African violence in South Africa, but Shahid Bolsen reminds us that as always, it is better to avoid the face-value narrative and ask some deeper, more fundamental questions so as to arrive at an understanding of who is ultimately responsible for this and what their agenda is.
The same FIFA that could not stop a world cup host from not issuing visas to players and official delegations has banned Haiti from wearing its jersey because the design (paying homage to its anti-slavery struggle) is "too political."
"Black people should just kick the footballs. The wider political context of the football is not for them."
APC is committing crimes so heinous Nigerians haven’t even begun to fully grasp them. They aren’t just impoverishing one generation, they’re saddling the next with debt before it’s even born.
Drake is a genuinely gifted, one-of-a-kind hitmaker who has released some of the biggest and most impactful songs and albums of my lifetime. But his massive commercial success has created a false equation: a lot of people assume that because he’s the biggest, he must also be the best.
In truth, there are hundreds of MCs who are simply better, with stronger albums, sharper pens, more versatile flows, superior freestyles, and more compelling features. They just refuse to water down their art into the lowest-common-denominator pop-rap that dominates the charts. Authenticity and depth rarely get the same shine as mass appeal, and that’s why the gap between “most popular” and “most elite” has never been wider.
Israel is no one’s ally.
They do not want peace.
We are about to watch the most destructive temper tantrum of the 21st century.
It’s long past time an adult took away their toys and disciplined them.
🚨🗣️ 𝗡𝗘𝗪: Alvaro Morales (ESPN commentator) on Cristiano Ronaldo's game vs. DR Congo:
"It's INCREDIBLE. Cristiano Ronaldo fails in Portugal because he has to be the goalkeeper, the defender, the midfielder, he has to create the chances and be the striker... Cristiano is always going to be ALONE in that team."
"Against DR Congo, Ronaldo won the space with his movements, he got into position raising his hand and his teammates did NOT pass him the ball"
"Messi should have been sent off against Algeria. Nobody protects Cristiano Ronaldo. Messi scored against Algeria, and Infantino was applauding… Look at Infantino's reaction when Portugal scored."

@Apple (cc: @AppleSupport), if someone turns on "head gestures" on AirPods, their iPhone should auto turn on "announce calls” with Siri.
I just had the funniest interaction helping someone figure out why "head gesture" wasn't working.
3 potential red-card incidents for Argentina.
Yet Argentina finished the match without a single yellow card.
Could the officiating have made it any more obvious?

If I'm reading this right, America is giving Iran $300 billion dollars, unfreezing billions more, ending all sanctions, acknowledging Iranian hegemony over the Hormuz, and in exchange we got to kill an 86 year old man, make gas more expensive, and blow up an elementary school.
